Locations

I’m Mike Dooley, a coastal photographer, Maine to Florida. I’ve been shooting the Rhode Island coast for more than 30 years, and most of my prints come from there. The rest come from day trips and road trips: Cape Cod, Maine, New Hampshire, Connecticut, North Carolina’s Outer Banks, and lately a beach on Florida’s Gulf Coast.

Start with the pictures. Tap one and you’ll land on the print, or on the town it came from. The stories are there when you want them.

Rhode Island

Rhode Island is where I started. Each town has its own page, with the prints and the stories from that spot.

Connecticut

Half of my Connecticut work is sunflowers, including the fields at Buttonwood Farm in Griswold. The rest is a pair of trees on a hill, the Big Dipper over a farm, and the parlor car of the Essex Steam Train.

North Carolina’s Outer Banks

Beaches, piers and lighthouses, inside and out, plus Jockey’s Ridge State Park in Nags Head. The black-and-white lighthouse is Bodie Island, just south of Nags Head. More photographs from here are coming. See the full Outer Banks page →

Florida’s Gulf Coast

This one isn’t the East Coast, but it belongs here. This fall I’m moving to Venice, Florida, and the Gulf Coast light is already showing up in my work.
